Welcome Amanda. Just want to let you know this is extremely addicting! The most important thing for your new BP is tempreture! Low 90's on the warm side and mid to low 80's on the cool side, very important. Give him several tight hides on the warm and cool side. A secure (hiding) BP is a happy BP. They do not like wide open enclosures, makes them feel very vulnerable and usually stop eating. Best of luck!
